Chris turned 39 a few days ago and he insisted that we not do anything special. I love doing special stuff and offered to make him a cake, special meal, or even to bring something to work, but he wouldn’t let me. I’m not sure if this makes me a good or bad wife, but I had to do SOMETHING, so I still got him a little present and brought home pizza and candles. He played along, but made sure to fake cry when reading the card I wrote for a reminder that I am a birthday nerd and he’s a crazy old man.
